Let’s cut the Bs now and understand the importance of this spider web in economic development for the country
The duffers who are opposing it doesn’t know the economic and social significance of network of highways….
Everyone wants to be next china but do they realize it was not possible without spider web of highway network…
This how two biggest economies looks in terms of expressway network
And this is how we look… so the gap is huge we need more highways if we really wants to be a developed nation …

The “Dhruv Rathee School of Logic” used to bash our Expressways is hilarious.
Comparing a single train berth to a private 5-seater vehicle is like comparing an apple to a whole orchard.
If you’re driving 800km alone, you’re doing it wrong. A car makes sense for a family trip where the cost is split.
Also, Expressways aren't "leisure tracks" - they are the backbone of India’s supply chain and freight movement.

I think only @volklub can convince @volkswagenindia to bring ID.polo 😂🙏.
On serious note - If this can be sold in a pricing that fits between the pricing of Punch ev and Nexon ev, this might get a Windsor ev type response.

@raoamitkumar_ @airindia They oversold the tickets and the ones who paid the least are being deboarded ..
English
How is this acceptable, @airindia ?
Two of us booked a direct flight from Delhi to Singapore scheduled for 3rd May at 00:40 AM. The tickets were booked nearly two months in advance.
Today, immediately after completing web check-in, we received a message stating that the flight has been rescheduled to 4th May and is no longer a direct flight.
When we contacted customer support, we were given only two options: either travel on 4th May (arriving at 18:30) or cancel and book afresh.
If we travel on 4th May, we will miss our important bookings. If we cancel and book afresh, we will have to pay nearly four times the original fare.
What makes this even more frustrating is that we can still see the same flight, along with other options around the same time, available on @makemytrip. However, we were told these cannot be offered to us because they fall under premium economy.
This leaves us in an extremely difficult position. We have a clear requirement to reach Singapore on 3rd May – how exactly are we supposed to manage under these circumstances?

Apparently, this is what Volkswagen Engineering looks like. 😂
I sent my car to @VW @volkswagenindia with a fully intact, perfect exhaust system. It came out of the workshop with a smashed-up, damaged exhaust concealed with plastic rope. They tried to hide it from me, thinking I wouldd never find it.

INR is a falling knife.
Change 5000 INR into Thai currency (THB)-- you will get 1030 THB.
Now, try changing that 1030 THB back to INR, you will get only 2989 INR back (instead of 5000).
This 40% "spread" indicates how illiquid (& weak) INR is.
- No one bothers.
- Media won't educate you.
- Everyone says: why even bother, you will stay in Indis; spend in India, right?
Wrong.
That's not how it works.
Just because YOU don't spend in USD or AED, does not mean that it doesn't hurt you. India is a net importer. And, is likely to remain so.
Whenever something is imported, you need to pay in a foreign currency. Just because you are not paying this "directly" does not mean this payment is not happening.
As the currency falls, your buying power (globally) gets depleted.
Solution? if you want to travel abroad, send kids abroad, plan your retirement or simply retain your buying power:
Start saving in a foreign currency. Example: invest in US stocks. This is legal. One of the many ways.
Else, you might look at your SIP growth= 12%
Pay 12.5% tax= roughly 10.5%
Currency depreciation = 8%
Net returns= 2.5-3%
The new reality is: to retire in India, you need to invest abroad. The sooner you get started the better it is.
India is a great growth story. Use it strategically. Don't buy it at any valuation. Buy it only when the valuations are low.

Creta Electric has predictable range which means no range anxiety.
A near perfect car 70:30 use
If passive safety box is ticked, it becomes a perfect EV for a common buyer as a family car with nothing jazzy but all practicality & fine performance.
Pricing definitely needs 10-15% correction considering the competition and brand should consider lifetime warranty too.

People wonder why older folks hate Congress.
This is why. He says Nicobar project must be stopped.
Nicobar sits at the mouth of a strait that is choke point of all the ships coming and going to China.
Iran has been able to hold the world hostage by choking a strait. India can literally choke China with minimal effort if Nicobar is developed. Hence Nicobar must not be developed
Second - Singapore has built an economy around transshipment port. Nicobar could be a potential transshipment port for all the ships that cross the strait. Hence it must be stopped.
Rahul Gandhi@RahulGandhi
I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

@bhaumikgowande This mall itself is on a forest land.. of course preservation has taken place but this was always a city forest

Delhi folks often say this was the work of former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Hard to imagine the city without her push for nearly 40 city forests, helping expand Delhi’s green cover from 29 sqkm to 300+ sqkm.

“Taang tod doonga. 10 baje ke baad kitchen kholi toh dekh lena.” The story starts again. Same pattern. Police walk in and shut us down. Refuse to take a complaint. We employ 15 people per kitchen. Jobs now at risk because we won’t pay a bribe. Police that should protect us are hurting us. 🎥 tinyurl.com/vk-police-2704… @CPDelhi @LtGovDelhi @PMOIndia @dcp_southwest @CMODelhi @FinMinIndia

@TheVishalKay Sir what causes this deflection from the African coast?
English
For all who are crying over tree cover and trees being saviours ( trees are good no doubt in local terms like your courtyard)
This is how monsoon works
The landmasses of NW India ( desert) , Pakistan Sindh, Iran which don’t hv much tree cover these regions literally bake in Summer months with temperatures almost touching 50C ( April-May-June-july) . This high temperature creates a temperatures though or low pressure zone over NW India Pak Iran stretched upto Saudi.
This LPA creates a huge pull for winds from south hemisphere area called Mascarene highs. The winds carry moisture from warm seas ( Indian ocean , Arabian sea, Bay of Bengal) .
The winds get deflected off the coast of Somalia and Africa and they cross over to India bringing monsoon.
So its the desert region which brings monsoon to India.

@kishjha @chiragbarjatya They tried once.. and still spend lots on it. Modi with a broom 🧹🧹.. remember
English
@chiragbarjatya Government needs to invest heavily in Civic Sens Awareness among its citizens. The moment we step out of our homes, we feel it doesn’t belong to us. We lack Sense of belonging to our community or the place we live in. Everything else will fall in place.

One of my friend who used was a host on bnb he told people used to leave used condoms on bed, empty the entire moisturizer bottle in one visit, throw blood stained tissues on floor, etc. The real side of hosting is very different.

She is an Airbnb host in India. She shares how guests leave her property and how most Indians consider Airbnb as just a party place and leave unbelievable mess sometimes. “We are paying cleaning charges na”. True. I judge people on how they leave behind hotel rooms too. Why? Because a robot won’t clean up behind you. It will be a human being with dignity who should not be the one picking up your filth behind you. At least the part which you could dispose of responsibly. But, some people just don’t get it and laugh on you for keeping your hotel rooms & Airbnb tidy.

Parked my primary Diesel car inside to use Creta Electric for city tasks today
92% charged
Will be travelling for 3-4 hours in heavy traffic, parked with AC on at some places. Typical realistic use for a long day. Family loves it so…
Let’s see how it goes.
Note: It feels satisfying & great when you charge at home. Feels like you have a lot of cash in your pocket. Same feeling.

Message From Man Who Paid Lumpsum As Alimony On Directions Of Court
"I fought my divorce & child visitation (not even custody) case for nearly 11 years. Multiple judges would repeatedly ask me to pay one time Alimony and take divorce.
I was not averse to this, but my ex-wife and her lawyer would keep increasing their demand year-on-year.
After final settlement, I learned that the money (Alimony) I paid in the hope of a better future of my daughter, was shared in the ratio of 80:20 between my ex-wife and her lawyer. The system is rigged beyond your imagination on social media"
